Case Study: NASCAR achieves reliable, real-time timing and scoring with Ubiquiti wireless solutions

Ubiquiti Products Deliver Timing and Scoring Data at the Racetrack

NASCAR needed reliable, low‑latency delivery of timing and scoring data at Grand‑Am road races—often held at smaller tracks with limited infrastructure and sections without line of sight—to support lap counts, pit‑lane speed monitoring, team telemetry, and race operations. NASCAR turned to Ubiquiti, using products and software such as NanoStation, UniFi, airOS and airControl to provide an easy‑to‑manage wireless backbone for race timing and communications.

Ubiquiti deployed a pre‑configured private network (150+ devices including NanoStation, Bullet, PicoStation, UniFi APs, airRouter/TOUGHSwitch and airCam) using PtP/PtMP links and a dedicated subnet; Mazda Raceway setup took a single day. The Ubiquiti solution delivered reliable, low‑latency timing and scoring to the command center and pit lane, simplified deployment and management, and scaled across NASCAR’s touring series—measurable results include one‑day deployments, ongoing use since 2007, and more than 150 Ubiquiti devices in service.
